India is the home to 6.4 crore ultra-small corporates accounting for 30% of the GDP and 40% of our exports. For something of this importance, SMEs faced many challenges in regards to raising capital and the emergence of SME Exchanges in India have invigorated this sector. In this video, I shall take you through the history, present and future of SME exchanges and SME IPOs as we discover how small and medium-sized enterprises are outperforming the other indices by a huge margin. In numbers, the S&P BSE SME IPO index has seen impressive an CAGR of 193% over the past 3 years, 82% over 5 years and 60% over 10 years. In other words, a 1 lakh rupee investment in this index in 2013 would have grown to over 1 crore, a whopping 100x return
The recent performance of SME stocks has sparked massive interest in this asset class. What used to be just 27 IPOs in 2020 is expected to reach almost 200 new listings this financial year. The underlying premise is clear: small stocks have the potential to offer significant rewards to investors. In this video, I shall also delve on the liquidity and safety concerns that many investors are likely to have and how one can go about the task of identifying the ideal SME stocks

Hello Shyam, thanks for this gratuity. Much appreciated. As I mentioned in the video, I couldn't come across a mutual fund or smallcase that's focussed on SMEs.

[@shankarnath]

So nice of you. Thank you very much! Yes, this channel's focus will be to show the path .. but one has to walk the way. I am reminded of something a classmate told me at an alumni dinner. She said: "We'll have done our jobs as parents if instead of taking every decision for our children .. we can give them the right tools to them that'll help them make the right decisions all throughout their lives". That was 15-16 years ago and that statement is still fresh in my head.

Very informative post Shankar sir. Would really like someone from MF industry to come up with SME Index Mutual Fund so that high risk appetite investors can invest in the index

[@shankarnath]

Thank you. Yes, same here. I think liquidity is the issue which is why we haven't seen something in this regards. However, with the microcap 250 index now launched, I'll say its a matter of time when an AMC launches an SME index

Small company investing does have it's risk with liquidity issues, unscrupulous promoters, access to capital .. but will some thought and research, the chances of landing a multibagger definitely improves

Sir could you please mention screeners you applied to find out the current contrarian stocks. It would be of great help.

Hello Shankar thanks for the video. Also, can you please make video on impact of *PE (private equity)* holding on share price. As many new age companies are backed by PE and many affordable housing finance companies where promoters are PE. I have noticed that when PE are promoters there is often overhang on share price as investors live with the fear that PE may exit anytime. Can you do a detailed study on this topic and make a video?

Thanks for the video Shankar. But why have make dealing in SME stocks in lots needing lakhs of rupees for relatively small mcap company? This sounds so counterintuitive to force people to buy and trade only large quantity. SME is risky by nature and then they force you to deal only in lots. Seems this is intentionally kept this way to keep retailers (small) away. Shankar your take/insight on this will be very valuable.

[@shankarnath]
